VX goofy with a stinger???

Those were popular here for a while too - I considered it, because they are handy for splitting brush, also, guys mentioned that they make it easier to roll your vehicle back over in case you ever go wheels up.

I decided that it would only be cool and useful exactly 2% of the time that I actually drove the vehicle, so I put on a skidplate instead.

The rock sliders were made by Ben at Stric9 Fabrication in Tucson, Az. The web site is down but Biju has purchased 2 sets from him and probably would be your best bet for contact info. They are well built.
As for stingers, they are not the same as brush guards. brucs guards are just that...they will push small brush out of the way. Any hard objects will simply bend or destroy it! A stinger will need to be custom fab'd. Any good local fab shop should be able to build what you need. My bumper when built will have a small stinger incorperated into the design. The stinger will help when coming up to tall rock objects. It will give the front end some protection and allow you to push up/over it.

I couldn't have said it better. Like riding around with gasmask and one of his loads, all the time

I remember talking about this before....they use them to cross ice fields in the north. Allows you to span a crevasse by skidding them. The things they're welding together down here, will turn a 3in. sapling, and skid over a log (we don't have rocks in Fla.)

Skid plates are good and are a great enhancement for the $$$$ and will be of the most use, but when that 2% of the time comes the extra protection will be greatly appreciated!

I live in San Francsico right now, i drove cross counrty and plan to drive cross counrty again this year to my new station, where ever it will be. Plus i love going driving offroading all the time and here in Cali there is alot of rocks, plus i plan to keep this VX as long as God allows it, and i plan to move back to Costa Rica once i do my time in the Coast Guard, so that guard will come really handy but i want the pre-runner bar.
